One to Six Week Postpartum Support During the Sacred Window Time
Ayurveda says the first 42 days postpartum will indicate your health for the next 42 years. It's such a profound time in a women's life but often we lack the support to help us truly heal, thrive and connect deeply with our little one.
That is where a postpartum doula can help you thrive, heal and bond with your little one. Postpartum doulas are here to make your life easier and help you heal your vata dosha the first year postpartum.
real talk.
Ayurveda (which literally translates to the wisdom of life) originated in India over 5000 years ago and it's ancient wisdom is still vital in today's world.
The first six weeks postpartum Ayurveda says is the sacred window to help heal your mind, body and soul. It's a time to be mindful of the vata dosha and help you nourish your tissues after giving birth.

"I loved having the support in the initial postpartum window. I felt nourished with the meals & herbal support I received form Andrea."
Your little one's nervous system is heavily tied to yours especially those first six weeks postpartum. If you can feel nourished and restored baby will feel rested and supported.

"I feel comfortable and taken care of when Andrea gives me guidance on what Ayurvedic practices are best for me."
Package Options
I come to your home for all visits. Packages include the first three or six weeks postpartum care visits.
My driving radius is within 30 miles of Saint Paul, MN.
When should you reach out about postpartum doula work?
Some mamas book their postpartum care in the first or second trimester, other mamas book at 35 weeks. Whatever works best for you. Ideally the earlier the better in case baby arrives early and we can get to know each other.
As far as my schedule I typically take 3 postpartum mamas a month.

— Shelley B.
"I've been looking for a new way to deal with some gut health issues and practicing Ayurveda has been so helpful! Andrea's knowledge and suggestions have been both easy and hard overall and learning more about the body and how we just need to listen to what it is trying to tell us. I am working on taking better care of what foods I take in and noticing how they affect me. Andrea is a very positive voice to run my questions by and I am so grateful for her caring and calming nature. I look forward to exploring more about Ayurveda especially about the lunar phases and as a good compliment with my yoga practice."
